One week down, when is Christmas vacation?

August 28th, 2009 • chatter, education

So the first week of classes is over and it’s been a tough week without even worrying about school. Both motorcycles decided to not work properly this week. My new Shadow 750 figured that the battery should die between last Friday and Tuesday, while my old VLX is limping along like it’s on its last leg. I have no idea what’s wrong with it, it worked fine last month when I rode it and I really do not want to take it to a shop.

Aside from that, classes may be interesting. Both are special topics courses at FAU: LIT4930-003 Reading the Old Testament and AMH4930-001 Women and Religion in America’s History. The former won’t prove to be very interesting but it’ll more than likely be an easy grade and a refresher on parts of the Bible I’ve long forgotten. The latter could prove to be very insightful if the other people in the class do the reading and actively participate. If the introduction to our book was any indication, I’m going to end up pulling my hair out since the author has made it very clear she thinks that history is “not self-interested” and based on singular points of view. Catherine Brekus better prove me wrong!

We want to go fishing again this weekend but that may not happen due to some event changes and some schedule shuffling. But then there’s always next weekend, especially if the hurricanes keep pushing the fish here! I should be cooking the blue runners we caught last week but we’ll see if time permits. If not, they’re still nice and frozen, ready to be used.

Ah crap, I got distracted by something and forgot what I was writing. Now I need to go to bed.
